CTV - Tory MP apologizes for anti-gay comments
Canada.com - Sask. MP apologizes for videotaped comments
Rabble.ca - babble
You can see the video of the original tape as well as videos of the events today at the CTV site as well.
I cannot believe how many people say that because it is 16 years old, one should let it go. I find that repulsive. These men are elected officials. Lukiwski was 40 years old at the time...you cannot tell me that an ADULT did not know any better or has changed his colours to cover his ass.
When will the right wing accept that there are all types of people in this world. They constant homophobic remarks are passed of as humour. How many of our children have committed suicide because of their sexuality? How many beatings have occurred because you were gay? How many jobs were lost?
A fellow blogger, soop, has commented and added this as an example of the right wing mentality:
"... Doreen Eagles SaskParty MLA for Estevan, following a federal debate during the 2006 Federal election was heard to say something to the effect of "Who was that lesbian that had to bring up same sex marriage"
That lesbian was my mother in law ...
And if Doreen paid more attention to the debate then ensuring she cheered loudly for The conservative candidate and booed for any conflicting opinion she would have noticed that when she took the microphone she stated "As a Heterosexual Mother of 2, and happily married woman"
And even is she was a pink purple toed hippopotamus ... its an issue of human rights, the Saskparty and the conservatives continue to step on them.
Ugh ... I have to continue to shake my head"
